Betting on Blackpool FC
The Naranjas, who will play at home in this Blackpool vs Cardiff City match, currently holds 23rd place in the Championship standings. Mick McCarthy’s team has achieved eight wins, 11 draws, and suffered 20 defeats so far this season.
In the last five matchdays, the Marineros have only managed to secure one win (with three losses and one draw), so they will come into the Blackpool vs Cardiff City match with a sense of urgency, as they only have six games left to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Besides, in its last away game against Preston North End, Blackpool suffered another blow with a 3-1 defeat. The team lacked effectiveness. As a result, its opponent scored with fewer chances, but managed to break through the defense and Maxwell’s goal.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Chris Maxwell; Curtis Nelson, James Husband, Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel; Callum Connolly, Andy Lyons, Kenneth Dougall, CJ Hamilton; Jerry Yates, Keshi Anderson, Morgan Rogers.
Betting on Cardiff City
Cardiff City suffered a 3-2 loss against Swansea City in its recent league match, extending its winless streak to three. The opponents dominated possession for most of the game and capitalized on their shots with goals from Joel Piroe, Liam Cullen, and Ben Cabango.
Sabri Lamouchi’s team currently holds 21st position in the Championship with 39 points, having achieved 10 wins, nine draws, and 19 losses. As the team prepares itself to face Blackpool in the upcoming match, Cardiff City is expected to go all out to secure an away win and maintain its lead, as it has previously seen its opponents equalize after taking the lead in several games.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Ryan Allsop; Perry Ng, Cédric Kipré, Mark McGuinness; Joe Ralls, Callum O’Dowda, Ryan Wintle, Andy Rinomhota, Jaden Philogene-Bidace; Sory Kaba, Sheyi Ojo.
JefeBet Prediction
Although neither club is going through a good moment, Cardiff City is the one that has shown the best performance so far. Moreover, in the last three matches, Blackpool has failed to beat this opponent.
Unfortunately for the home side, home is not a notable guarantee, while Cardiff City has pulled off a couple of surprises on enemy grounds. Due to this and their recent results, at JefeBet we believe that the away team will take all three points in this Blackpool vs Cardiff City clash.
Prediction: Cardiff City Moneyline (BLA 1-2 CAR).
